It’s great to start the new year off the right way, with the favor of God. One way to do that is by bringing our first fruits to God and become generous, giving people. God is much more reliable than we are. When we can rely on God in everything, we can mix the abilities and talents He gave us with His power and vision and make the best out of everything in our lives. That is what tithing is. It’s aligning ourselves with God and putting God first. We want people to have great lives and that is how we do it - aligning our hearts with God, putting God first, and being generous in all things because we trust that God will provide.
